Light-Black And Decker

Out with the old: In with the new: Last week we got a new couch! Well, not new from a store, but new from ksl.com. It was a rather interesting experience during the process of getting rid of our old couch. So first of all, we got the new brown couch before we got rid of the blue couch because I wanted to make sure we would actually get it and have a place to sit before getting rid of our only couch. So then we had two couches filling up our living room (and kitchen). We needed to get rid of it fast. So I posted it for cheap and had a few people call. The first lady who saw it said she wanted it and would come back with some twine. She brought her two kids and complained most of the time that she didn't have a man around to do stuff for her and that men are worthless. So when she showed back up, I started looking around for a truck of any kind. And saw none. I then realized her plan was to strap it to the top of her car. In my mind I'm thinking "ummmmm...ok. Don't bla

Today at work, I got paid to go and watch the Utah Symphony play. I can handle that.

It must be school time again. I know because I'm sick. It took me a whole week and a half of working in this germ infested place until I got sick. Last year I got sick every single month. And so it begins.

Today was the last day of Welcome Week, so the last time I can make fun of clueless kids trying to dress up in something that they have no idea about. (If you have no idea what I'm talking about, you need catch up already. Read my previous two posts) Today: 80's Day. Keep in mind, these kids were born in the late 90's. I saw: A few decent 80's costumes, mixed in with lots of afros, disco costumes, and 70's hippie flair. Also, the student council kids were trying to figure out what 80's songs they should play during lunch. They asked for our help. Them: "Elvis?" Us: "Um, no. Try again." Them: "Uh, The Beatles??" Us: "..." Eventually we got them on the right track, but man. They were all sorts of confused.

Yesterday's theme: Wizard Day. What I saw: A guy in angel wings, made with real feathers. I have a feeling I will be posting about Friday's theme as well.

This week at junior high school/work is “Welcome Week.” Everyday has a different theme that the kids get to dress up as Today was Superhero Day. I was expecting to see lots of Supermas, Spidermans, and other caped heros, but instead I learned that the current generation of kids need a lot of help in their superhero knowledge department. Today I saw a bumblebee, a princess, a penguin, a dinosaur, Minnie mouse, and a cat. I’m so depressed for these kids. (FYI: This picture suggests the penguin is actually a super penguin, but at school, there was no such superness included in any of the above-mentioned costumes)
